Amid rumors of quitting right after the elections, Hatnu'a Chairwoman Tzipi Livni presented her campaign, in an attempt to replace Netanyahu.
“There are a number of possibilities after the election,” she told
reporters at a news conference introducing her party’s campaign, “and
the first is replacing the driver. This is our goal.”
After the election, she continued, “it is possible that if Netanyahu
stays in the driver’s seat, we would work to alter the course, influence
the wheel, hit the brakes and direct the vehicle to a better place,
from within the government. A second possibility, if we see
it’s unrealistic [to join the government], would be to stay in the
opposition,” she said. “The issue is not personal, but the policy of
that government.”
“I take into account that this struggle may have to be conducted from
the ranks of the opposition, and my colleagues and I will be there to do
so,” she declared.
At Sunday’s news conference, Hatnu'a introduced its slogan: “Hope will
overcome fear,” stressing that the key word in the campaign will be
“hope.”
